Overall craziest golf course real estate

Menlo CC isn't really in this conversation.  Menlo Circus Club, in Atherton, would be.


Menlo CC is on the wrong side of the freeway (280) from the wealthy part of Woodside.

I'd think the property Olympic Club occupies would have to be extremely valuable

A separate question, but I can’t fathom the property approaching LACC in the value of its land.

Matt,

If we're including value of the land the course sits on, can't imagine anything being worth more than Pebble with nearly 2 miles of coastal lots (assuming it could built on).  That alone would likely dwarf anything else, much less the value of the other acreage it covers.

Would Fishers Island be considered a neighborhood?


Otherwise I've always thought a house around Pasatiempo would be nice.

Not Cali , but the Jupiter Island real estate in Florida has to be in the stratosphere

What about your bushes?

Guys,


  Pebble, especially with the severe limitations currently placed on it by the California Coastal Commission isn't worth that much as a pure land bank. Same goes for Olympic or La Jolla.


   No way you could build anything more than 5-8 (if any at all) homes from #4-11. Even if you could build some on #12-#17, it would pale in comparison to the number of $75-150MM homes that could be built on LACC South or North alone!

I remember well a few years ago when the gentleman carrying for us at Brora pointed out his house as we played 17. He was a member. When we asked him to join us for lunch and a beer (or two), he said living within walking distance had several benefits given the Scottish zero tolerance laws. That strikes me as a difficult place to beat for living regardless of property values. Plus the view is spectacular.

I like the homes around Riviera. Very understated compared to what are around LACC & Bel-Air. If you wanted to actually live there I think that would be the best


The homes bordering The Ocean Course at Kiawah are tremendous and what about Golf House Road in Ardmore!


One of the coolest single homes I've seen is just to the right of the 11th green at Cuscowilla.

Ever since I was a boy I always loved Riviera on TV. It was always one of the winter highlights and I used to break out the clubs, clean my grips and otherwise rifle through my bag. I might not get to play for months, but Riviera was always the start of the golf season.


I have been fascinated by the homes all this time. And with online real estate, I can check the prices.

The Everglades Club rivals all which have been mentioned in terms of property value of the golf course. Prices for surrounding homes are in the stratosphere as well.

Good call. $30-$80M for the courses on Island Drive.

In the north east Weston Golf Club has some of the biggest and most incredible  houses I’ve ever seen. Meadowbrook Road is the real deal outside Boston.

Jaeger-The houses on the perimeter at Weston GC are eye popping for sure. There are a couple on the par five 6th hole that are engineering marvels with homes in various states of construction built into the hillside. “Mammoth”would be an understatement to describe the scale of these residential properties.

I was playing Riviera once and hit a huge left-handed slice off the tee on #12 which I figured was way OB but got the safe signal from the caddie standing in the fairway.  When I got to my ball I asked him how it managed to land in the left rough and he said, "Well it hit off of Mel Brooks' house, bounced into Julie Andrews backyard and rolled out to here."
When I told that story to Bob Huntley years later he said that if I had been a bigger hitter I would have bounced off of Julie Andrews house and landed in his old backyard as he used to live next to her in the 70s.


BTW, Richard Kayne's (owner of Tara Iti)  house next to the 7th tee at Riviera is the most insane property on the course.
